African buffalo - BTB

A selection of transparencies on a veterinarian's lightbox, show spillover infections from Bovine Tuberculosis (BTB). It is thought that buffalo are a vector of this disease which can ravage beef herds. Ironically, although BTB has largely been eradicated in livestock, it was first introduced to buffalo by domestic cattle.
